THALIA POV:

"WHERE IS HE?!" I shouted in Nico's ear. Percy hasn't been back ever since Annabeth had that break down at school. I was pacing around his room from waking him up at 10AM

"Calm Down!" Nico shouted and he dug his head into the pillow

"OUR ROCKSTAR COUSIN IS A BIG TARGET AND HE DIDNT COME BACK AND YOUR ASKING ME TO CALM DOWN?"

"Text him" His flat toned voice said.

"DO YOU THINK IM STUPID," He smiled in the pillow I glared at him, I knew what he was thinking. "THAT WAS A RHETORICAL QUESTION YOU IDIOT!"

"What even happened yesterday?"

"RIGHT YOU DONT REMEMBER BECAUSE YOU WERENT THERE WERE YOU?!"

"Calm down. I was hungry okay?"

I told him everything. Well, in my perspective anyways.

-FLASHBACK-

"Hey, Annabeth you okay? I'm starting to see what Katie said… You have been a bit distant…" I said with full concern. No one was in the water anymore.

"Hey guys." He said in a cheery voice. He sat next to Annabeth and looked at her. She groaned and wrapped herself in a ball and started sobbing. Wonder what's that about. I looked at him and he asked 'whats-wrong-with-her' I just shrugged 'take-care-of-her-I-have-to-go' I felt really bad. But when I looked back from the corner of my eye I was sitting in my car and he had is arm wrapped around Annabeth and she was leaning on to him. I smiled at that moment and took a picture. I know, I may seem like a creep but still. It was cute! But if our dads find about this… he would be dead. DEAD.

Our dads never liked the idea of 'love' because they were cold hearted mammals. They were strict on who we had to date. Had to be famous and a superstar. It was all about fame and fortune to them. I pity Percy. The only one that we really felt was our mum was Percy's mum, Sally Blofis/Jackson. She was so sweet and caring she was like Nico's and mine's own mother. Oh Percy, what will we do with you? And I drove away.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

"I hope she's okay." I finally calmed down. Nico was already up and shocked by what happened.

"Maybe he's at her house."

"Death breath actually made sense!? Oh wow!" I took my keys and ran out the door pulling Nico by the wrist.

"Okay,Okay calm down! Do you even know where Annabeth's house is?" Nico asked

"Yes! The girls texted me." I stepped on the pedal and went as fast as I could. Nico just sighed and held on the chair because he knew I would go this fast. I love my family even though it doesn't seem like it. I pulled into the parking lot and went to the apartment number. Nico was behind me I pulled the knob but It was locked.

"It's locked stupid." The half asleep Nico stated

"Thank you for that important information" I rolled my eyes and started looking everywhere outside the apartment.

"What are you looking for?" He asked. That's when I spotted it the spare key! I walked towards the mail box and pulled out a golden rusty key that said the room number '101' Okay then. I opened the door and Nico stood still shocked. I pulled him in and he as still shocked.

"How did you know it was there?" Nico asked recovering

"I didn't." I shrugged and opened the bedroom door ever so slightly. I peaked my head through and saw a sleeping Percy and Annabeth.

"They're sleeping" I whispered to Nico.

"Oh my gods! Did they-" I kicked him at the back of the head. I can't believe he thought that. I peaked through again to see if they were- nope still had clothes. Good.

"Stop thinking that!" I took out my phone to take yet another picture. It was Percy with his arm around annabeth's head and their fingers were interlocked like laced shoes. She was facing him on the side and she had her arm around his waist.

Nico walked in and he had a shocked expression.

She snuggled closer.

EEEK

He tighten his grip on her

EEEK

"ow!" Nico whispered. I realised that I have been tugging on his hand on how cute they were. He bent down to me because I was on the floor trying to get the perfect shot.

"our dad's gonna kill Percy when they find out." With that he took off and I got my perfect shot. We walked out of the building and sat in silence.

"Maybe they are not a thing?" Nico suggested he was driving this time.

"Good point. Maybe he just fell asleep on the bed while they were playing cards." That was a possibility. So we thought of them as good friends instead of a couple from then on.

PERCY POV:

I yawned and looked to my left because I felt a lot of heat. I saw Annabeth. She was wrapped around me like I was a huge teddy bear. I looked at the time and it was 1PM. Late, I know. So I decided to wake her.

I shared her. Nothing.

I stroked her cheek. A bit of something.

Kissed her ear, blew it. Made her shiver.

Trail of soft kisses on her neck. Turned to face me, still eyes closed.

Got to the point of her jaw. Moaning slowly.

Kissed her nose. Morning even more.

Kissed her on the lips. That woke her up.

She opened her eyes and pulled me closer to deepen the kiss. We were going at it passionately when I remembered the time and got up. She was groaning and begging to go back to sleep. That does not work on the Percy Jackson. I've seen many fans with that look asking for an autograph or picture.

"Morni- Afternoon Wise Girl."

"Afternoon Seaweed Brain."

I gave her a quick peck on her lips and said "C'mon Thalia has been texting me like crazy and the whole gang is at my house. We need to get you a distraction." I pulled her on her feet.

"Can't you be a distraction?" She whispered in my ear while hugging me. She knew that sent me shivers up my spine.

"Nice try. Let's go." Changing the subject. If only she knew one more of that I would've given in. Ah, Life. Ah, Aphrodite must be up to this.

"Promise you won't hurt Luke okay?" She said looking at me with pleading eyes. I hesitated at first then agreed.

She rolled her eyes and went in to change. We soon got into my car and she looked out the window examining almost everything with her calculative grey eyes.

"What does this make us?" I asked.

She gave me a peck on the cheek. Then smiled. I knew what she meant.

"But, can we keep it down? My parents would kill me if they found out I was with you and I don't want people bombarding us with questions." I told her. Luckily she understood. Most girls would go 'Oh so now you pick your parents over me?' or 'So what? I like attention' but you know, those were the people dad set me up with so they are literal DIVA's from tartarus.

We got out of the car and I unlocked the door. "Ready?" I asked her

"Yep." She gave me one last peck on the lips and we went inside.

"GUYS!" Nico ran up to me bro-hugging me and Annabeth. Thalia then came running after then Allison, Piper,Jason,Leo, Stolls, Chris, Katie and Clairese.

"We were worried sick what happened?" I sat down on the couch as far away as Annabeth so I wouldn't get tempted by her smell. She looked at me and I nodded knowing that we could trust them.

After Annabeth explained almost every girl went up and hugged her with tears. The boys just patted her on the back leaving with and angry Thalia and Clairese, the two most toughest girls excluding Annabeth.

"Don't worry, I will make sure I will hurt that pretty boy face." Clairese said standing up with fists balled up. Chris tried to calm her down but she just growled at him so he left her afraid to see what would happen next.

"I'll make sure its permanent" Thalia then stood up next to Clairese. Leo pulled her down and she next to him with scary glowing eyes. Leo was the only one, excluding me and Nico because we have seen worse from Thalia, not terrified. Instead he whispered something in her ear which made her calm down. We all looked at them and they just tried to hide what they were talking about by changing the subject.

"Whats for lunch?" Leo asked which clearly indicated he wanted to get away with this conversation so Thalia smoked his arm, hard.

"Whats with this?"

"He just told me that I could use him as a personal punching bag later" She smiled "If you ever thought I would get together with this 'play boy' think again. He got a new girlfriend 'Alice'? was it?" Leo stared at the ceiling probably thinking about Alice. Now that sounded more like Leo. Playboy.

"Ah, She's a hottie." He said smiling. Which caused everyone to laugh and most boys agreed. Which was hilarious.

"C'mon I found this nice sushi place!" We got split up into cars and I had Annabeth, Thalia and Nico.

-LINE BREAK-

It was completely quiet in the car and I was frankly okay with it. Once we arrived we booked a table. We had a 'special room' for VIP's so basically a private room where they cook in from of us. Soon after everyone started coming in

"Hey guys, I brought Alice over." Leo said and we saw he was holding hands with a pretty girl. Every boy was drooling including me. I felt a slap on my arm and I saw Annabeth glare at me. I blushed and looked down, embarrassed. Same went with Travis - Katie, Allison - Conner, Chis and Clairesse. We all laughed and talked for a while.

"If you had to have one prized possession what would it be?" Allison asked everyone

We decided to play 20 questions witch brought us all together. I started to answer the question because she was next to me. "Mine has to be 'riptide' Its a real sword that is a pen but once un-capped it turns into a sword. Especially made by my father after I started sword fighting." I smiled at the moment.

Its when I joined camp-half-blood. Our parents were actually gods but we didn't talk much about it. When people asked why they were named after greek gods we made up an excuse and said 'to get more popularity for them, its more of a nickname' They hid our sent very well so we have no monsters and we lived a normal life. The only thing we used were our weapons and our transportation. Nico had shadow-traveling I had water traveling and Thalia had lightning traveling. It may sound weird but we don't talk about it much. We were more occupied in our rockstar life, although it was sad that we had to leave camp-half-blood. Although our dad were gods they were also our managers. So we would visit them sometimes at Olympus. Sad we had to lie to our friends but none of us cared as we would forget we were children of the big three. Hint 'Golden 3' we just thought of them as jerks. But once you see them in godly form. I swear you will pee your pants.

"Mine is a spear my dad gave me that for fun i guess. Hinting why I like to hurt people" - Thalia said that.

"Mine is a cool shadow popper. It never runs out and you can just run out of the room after you popped it. People always wanted to know how I could disappear, I just ran and the smoke was dark enough not to see my figure" Me and Thalia smiled at him. I remember the time I went shadow-traveling with him. It felt like my face burned off. Uncle Hades thought me and Thalia how to not feel that. And it was stupid. He just sad to close your eyes and sleep. WHAT THE HADES DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!

"Mine is this necklace, My mum gave it to me." It was an owl necklace and it was silver and very shiny. Annabeth smiled while looking at it.

"How about you Leo?" Allison asked and we saw him in the corner making out with Alice. They seemed to be enjoying the moment. Everyone gagged expect the girls. Excluding Clairese of course. After a few minutes they haven't stopped. I bursted out into laughter and so did the rest because we were filming this.

I finally shouted "VALDEZ!" Still nothing.

Annabeth tried "YO VALDEZ!" Nothing. Nada. If anything, it got more heated.

Allison tried "VALDEZ!" Soon everyone tried and the only one left was Thalia. We all looked over at her and she rolled her eyes.

She got up from her seat, all eyes on her, grabbed the mic that was available to only our room so only we could hear. "OH MY GOSH NAKED CHEERLEADERS AND SWIMSUIT MODELS!" that stopped him "HUH?! WHERE?!"

We all bursted up in laughter but Thalia just rolled her eyes expecting this from Leo. Alice slapped him and stomped away. That only made us laugh even more. Leo took out his phone and started typing.

"What are you doing Valdez?" Chris asked.

"What texting your side girlfriend to become you main one by saying 'I want to take it a level further'?" Jason asked everyone bursted out in more laughter with Nico, Chris, Jason and Conner on the floor laughing their but of after they fell.

"Yep." Leo said popping the 'p'

"You can't be serious Valdez." Clairese said approaching her chair. He nodded and gave her his phone. She rolled her eyes and put it on the floor. "What are you doing-?"

"Thalia, girls will you do the honours?" Clairese asked the guys all looked shocked and they got out hammers from the kitchen. Thalia had a knife in her bag already. *cough* Zues *Cought* Present *Cough* Mist *cough* spear *cough* Okay i think Im out of breath. They started beating the crap out of the phone and they looked up breathlessly. They walked back to their seats nonchalantly.

Annabeth stopped and whispered in my ear "That is what would happen to you if you do that to me" She smirked probably thinking I wouldn't but damn, she is hot when she is terrifying. I brought Leo with his ear and the boys followed me as we were excused by our lady friends.

"What was that!?" I asked him

"What?" Leo asked

"C'mon don't act so innocent! What was with you and Alice?!" Jason shouted at him

"Not cool dude" The Stolls said shaking their heads.

"I know you're trying to act cool infant of your 'crush'," He air quoted with his fingers 'crush.' This made Leo blush a bit so it was true!

"So it is true!" Chris said

"You-" Chris said

"Have-" I said with a smirk

"A-" Jason said

"Crush-" Nico's face was getting really happy at this point, Its weird.

"On-" Travis said

"THALIA!" Both Stolls said. He blushed even more!

"Why?! Our cousin?!" I asked him pointing towards Nico.

"She's hard to get and dangerous. It's nice. And I don't think I would have the heart to dump her-"

"Oh wow. Valdez doesn't have the heart to dump a girl!?" We were all shocked by his statement. Which made his blush more, Is that even possible?

"Okay, But if you even think about hurting her" I said stepping closer to him

"We will hurt you." Nico said stepping next to me. I could hear him gulp and me and Nico chorused together "Good."

We walked back in with a scared/blushing Leo and the girls started at us confused and this time it was my turn to whisper in Annabeth's ear. "I'll tell you later. I know you want to be Wise." I said with a smirk. We sat down and started eating again, now the room had more tension. Until the tension finally broke when we heard the waitress fart. We started laughing and each of us, including the girls, started dropping like flies onto the floor.

Once we regained our strength to talk and pull us back up our seats I said "There is this new arcade who wants to go?" Everyone raised their hands except for Clairese, Chris, Piper, Jason, Travis,Nico and Katie. So the only ones going was Me, Annabeth, Thalia, Leo *cough*, Conner and Allison.

We all got into our designated cars. "Guys, Me and Annabeth are going to Annabeth's first she needs to pick up something" They all nodded and I took off.

"I don't need to get anything." She said looking at me. I was too concentrated on the road to answer. When we got up the lift I opened the door.

"Percy, I don't need anything why did you-" I pushed her against the wall and put both of my hands beside her waist on the wall. She smiled and kissed me roughly. She knew exactly what I wanted. We started kissing fiercely and we were enjoying every moment of it. I started to suck on her bottom lip which made her moan a bit and it soon became a french kiss. She didn't fight for dominance because she wanted me to whisk her away. She jumped on my wrapping her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck and I placed her on the couch. We continued the french kissing and I needed a breather but that wasn't going to let me stop this moment. I went down to her jaw then her neck which made her moan a lot. I knew where a spot was. The temple behind her ear or a special place on her neck. She pulled me back up and started kissing me again and I loved every moment of it. After a few minutes I got tired and laid on the couch while she sad on me both legs next to my waist. She was straddling me and we both smiled. I reached up and tucked a blonde piece of her behind her ear and whispered, still not getting up "You have no idea how much I wanted to do that at the restaurant. You looked hot when your mad" She smiled and gave me a final peck on the lips and went back to startling me.

"Me too." We both sat in silence but then I realised that we had to go to the arcade.

"We should probably go." I told her. Her smile dropped but she still had a smirk.

"Probably." She got off me and she changed clothes. We walked back to the car in silence and I had a goofy grin on my face.

-LINE BREAK TO WHEN THEY REACH-

"Hey guys!" I said.

"Hey!" They al chorused.

"What do you want to play?" Allison asked

"I've played almost every game here except for the new one that opened a few weeks back" Annabeth answered. She apparently went to this place a lot.

"Okay I guess we could go there." Me, Thalia, Nico and Annabeth went while the other two got us some food.

"So whats the game?" Thalia asked.

"I dunno but here it is" Annabeth pointed to a big sign that read 'Sword Fighting' Me, Thalia and Nico all smiled at each other. We sat in the seats and it was like a badminton room with air-con and seats.

We all sat together as we heard the announcer say "HELLO! TODAY WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST! HE IS A CHAMPION AND HOLD THE RECORD FOR THIS ARCADE GAME," He pointed towards and entrance and said "LUKE CALLASTEAN." We all looked at each other and we had shocked faces. Annabeth looked like she was going to puke. "WHO WANTS TO GO AGAINST HIM?" No one raised their hands, and there were a lot of people there too. So I decided why not. Annabeth tugged me down and looked at me that said 'don't-hurt-him-it-was-a-promise.' I just smiled and nodded. "OKAY YOUNG BOY- OH! AND IT SEEMS THAT THE GOLDEN 3 ARE HERE! PERCY JACKSON, PLEASE COME UP TO THE FRONT!" I passed Thalia and Nico.

Thalia went up to me and said "Don't take all the fun leave some for me"

The followed by Nico saying "Use Riptide. Dibs going next to kicking his sorry ass" I uncapped Riptide and he got out a real sword too. We wore our armour, even if I don't need too, Every heard of the river styx? yeah. But i just wore it encase people got ya-know tipsy.

"OH AND BOTH HAVE TAKEN OUT THIER SWORDS SEEM TO BE ESPECIALLY MADE! NOW PLEASE COME UP AT THE FRONT!" I walked up to the from and looked at the seats. Annabeth was talking to Allison and Conner who just arrived probably explaining what happened Conner mouthed at me 'kick his ass' and Allison was just talking to Annabeth. Nico and Thalia was half way to the stairs going back up to the seats.

THIRD PERSON POV:

*Cue Centuries - Fall out boy music*

Paparazzi started to crowd around the 'arena' and started taking pictures.

Luke and Percy started circling each other with determination in their eyes. The crowd started clapping and Luke ran towards Percy, which was a bad move. Percy just moved to the side which made Luke kind of breathless because he just ran across the wide room. Percy smirked and Luke ran to Percy with his sword. This time Percy blocked with his sword and turned his wrist so that Luke was twisted with his body facing up and his head sideways. That's what Luke got for holding his sword backwards. Luke swiped Percy's legs from below but Percy back flipped and landed on his feet. Percy started to swing his sword in-between his fingers, something Luke couldn't do. Luke was breathing heavily and held his sword straight at his chest, which was stupid, Because Percy had a strong arm and a strong sword, gifted by Poseidon, the god himself. Percy knocked Luke's sword out of his hand and picked it up. One sword behind him and another by his throat so he couldnt move. Suddenly Percy's sword shined gold and he smirked at himself along with Thalia and Nico. The the whistle rang

"AND WE HAVE A WINNER! DID THE PERCY JACKSON JUST TAKE OVER THE SPOT AS CHAMPION?! YOU GUEST CORRECT!-"

"I WANT A REMACH!" Luke said furiously.

" DO YOU ACCEPT?"

"Nah, I'll give one of my cousins a chance. They are blood thirsty." With that Percy took off and capped Riptide back into a pen and Nico went next.

"NICO DI' ANGELO VS LUKE CALASTEAN! GIVE IT UP FOR THEM!" Everyone started clapping. 'This emo dude won't be so hard. could just take him down in a second. Just like his little friend 'Annabeth''

Nico had a 3 foot long midnight sword. Little did they know the 3 fathers were cheering them on up from olympus placing bets on their kids.

"I bet Nico!" Hades shouted

"Same!" Poseidon boomed

"I bet Luke!" Zues said and placed down the money on the table. They were watching like how you would at the world cup.

Soon enough Luke found himself on the floor with Nico towering above him with his sword at his neck and head. Nico had managed to knock out Luke's sword in 5 seconds because Luke wasn't paying attention to when Nico was. Secretly Nico used Shadow-traveling but with the mist it looked like he just ran really fast. Annabeth saw what happened because she could see through the mist bust she just thought she was hallucinating. Allison and Conner left a while back when Percy won.

"WE WON!" Hades and Poseidon shouted.

"YOU GUYS BETTER NOT BE BETTING ON YOUR CHILDREN!" Hera said from across the thrown room. They agreed not to bet anymore.

"GIVE IT UP FOR NICO DI' ANGELO! ANOTHER GOLDEN 3!" The paparazzi took pictures at this moment.

"I WANT A REMATCH! SOMEONE I CAN WIN AGAINST!" Luke demanded. He was searching the arena when his eyes landed on Thalia. 'A girl and a golden 3! She must be an easy take down. She's a girl!'

"I WANT THALIA GRACE! THE OTHER GOLDEN 3! AT LEAST THIS TIME I CAN WIN, I MEAN SHE'S A GIRL!" He shouted suddenly, All the girls bored at his little comment at the end.

THALIA POV:

Did he just say girls can't win? Oh, he's going to get it. I stood up my eyes were flashing with all the different types of blue and i bet Luke felt it because he gulped. I took out my sword and I want this to be the most embarrassing moment of his life. "So you're the one that broke Annabeth's heart?" I asked him circling around him

"Yeah, That she-devil was too annoying and only I can have happiness" He said back. That is what got me on my gears. No one messes with my friends!

He launched at me and I just judo flipped him which caused him to land on his butt. I wasn't a cheater like Nico. I wanted to win fair and square. He got up and I was still looking away after I judo flipped him. He thought this was the perfect moment to run at me. Honey, think. I wouldn't be in this position if I wanted to loose. My sword hit his sword and I was still facing out. Both my hands held my sword to my back and I turned around, his sword was still connected to mine so he went flying over the other side. He lost his temper at this part, I loved it. I could see Annabeth, Percy and Nico cheering on for me in the corner of my eyes. He go up once again and he did something really stupid. He tried to flirt. Ew. No. "Thalia… You wouldn't do this right? How about you drop your sword and we go on a date. The great Luke." He sad in a calming voice that everyone could hear. I dropped my sword and he thought I fell for it. HAH! He wished. He thought he had it here but, think again. "Good. I GOT YOU NOW! YOU HAVE NO WEAPON!" He shouted so everyone could hear him. He ran towards me but I just defenced it with my armour on my arm. I swung with enough force that it got out of his hands. In the midst of turning to hit his sword out of hand I went for a 360. I picked it up smoothly with the skill that I learnt form dancing and brought it to his neck. He fell down trying to escape but I just shook my head with an innocent smile and flashing eyes. "Honey… If you actually think I would go on a date with you… think again" He fell flat on his back leaving a big 'thump' and everyone cheered and the girls said 'SHOW HIM THALIA!' 'KICK HIS SORRY ASS' or 'WOO!' I heard lots of 'clicks' from the paparazzi and too be honest… I was enjoying this moment.

"EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR THE GOLDEN 3!" Everyone clapped. Nico and Percy started to approach the middle of the Arena where I was and we held a huge trophy that said 'SWORD FIGHTING CHAMPIONS - GOLDEN 3' We smiled and waved to the paparazzi as they took a picture of us. We went back to Annabeth and smiled

"Thats what Luke gets" Percy said smiling me and Nico joined him in the smile. Percy kissed Annabeth's cheek and they both went still realised what they have done.

"So you are a thing?" Nico asked grinning.

They both nodded and said "Don't tell anyone please. You know who would kill me and the paparazzi is gone. Please?" Me and Nico grinned at each other and nodded. I went back to my car and got a text from Percy

PERCY: Annabeth sleeping over the house. My room.

ME: Okay.. don't do anything naughty… ;)

PERCY: Eww stop Thalia before I pair you up with Leo!

I just rolled my eyes. Leo is nice but he just moves onto every girl its quite annoying. But out of all the boys in our gang I would say I would have to pick him. *shudders*

PERCY POV:

I grabbed Annabeth's hand and ran upstairs with some snacks. We planned on watching a movie in my room after what happened. I got up and sat her in the couch in my room.

I started searching for some movies until she said "I gotta admit, You were pretty good out there."

I turned around with a goofy grin "Good looking or Good with skills?" I asked her approaching her with the remote. I had locked the door so it would be more private.

She rolled her eyes and said "Both." And pecked me on the lips. She wore my oversized jumper that was cotton so it was cozy and her shorts. I leaned into the couch and she rested her head on my chest and I started picking out the movies as she ate the popcorn with her messy bun that looked adorable.

4 movies later Annabeth was slowly snoring at me. I tucked a piece of loose hair from her bun and whispered in her ear "Good night Wise Girl." I kissed her temple, one of her spots, and she squeezed me saying 'goodnight' and I fell asleep too. I love her. Just don't know how to say it yet.
